Morgan Freeman Not With Step Granddaughter
Morgan Freeman is adamant, he has NEVER had a romantic relationship with his 27-year-old step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines, and slams all of the reports to the contrary as "defamatory fabrications." Morgan just released a statement responding to recent reports that he and Hines have been dating for roughly 10 years and were planning to get married in the very near future. Freeman's rep says the actor remained silent for years because he didn't want to "dignify these stories by commenting" ... but now he feels compelled to speak out after the reports were picked up by various "mainstream media" outlets. In his statement, Freeman says, "The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well." E'Dena has also issued a statement:  "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family." E’Dena is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw. She and Morgan are not related by blood.

Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks Out Against 'Ridiculous' Rumors of Marital Trouble

Why us? That's what Jada Pinkett Smith has been wondering, after she and husband Will Smith became the latest star couple to be the subject to rumors of marital strife. Asked why the speculation won't go away, she tells French magazine Gala: "I have no idea! Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope. This year, unluckily, it's us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it." She adds: "Will and I know the truth. We're waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over." Jada, 40, acknowledges that she and Will, 43, spend lots of time apart. But it's always been that way, she adds. "These rumors are completely untrue," she says. "I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does. ... But our lifestyle hasn't changed. Before we had the kids, we were already far away from each other quite often because of separate projects." Asked about the rumor that they no longer live under the same roof, she replies: "That's ridiculous. We've always lived together." Things aren't about to slow down, either. Will is currently filming the M. Night Shyamalan movie After Earth with Jaden, 13. And this summer, Jada will be hitting the road with Willow, 11, who is going on tour as a singer.
